• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi there all!:wave:

I just want to let you know that people do have feelings. When you are chatting with people all over the net you are NOT talking to a computer that has no emotion but you are indeed talking to a real person.. unless of coarse you are talking to chrisbot;) . Anyway, I have experienced people blowing me off just because I would not answer their question that I found to be personal. They think that just blowing someone off is okay that the person that they are blowing off does NOT have feelings, but guess what THEY DO!... I am just sending this friendly advice the next time someone thinks it is okay to just blow someone off with out any explination, I can tell ya I KNOW that Jesus would NEVER blow someone off like some do.
Some people are very sensitive to that, and it does hurt feelings!!!! Some of you may be really tough about this, well Praise Jesus that He blessed you with such a TOUGH shell, BUT at the same time Jesus gave some of us a thinner shell that takes time to build! Please realize that before you post things!

Please remember the GOLDEN RULE!:thumbsup:

I guess I am bless that I have only 1 friend here ON CF who talks to me daily and has not blown me off and has a GREAT BIG HEART!!!!!... SHE is a kind sister in Christ!!!! I am blessed to have her as a friend!:clap:

God bless you all!:wave:

Smiling just always remember to not allow others to determine your self worth.

There are nights where my MSN friends are going thru a mood swing or just rude. I don't let it get to me and just move on to something intresting. They don't want to enjoy my good company, that is their loss.

I am not saying it's a snap of the fingers to learn. Just remember what it felt like before when it did get to you. Just say it ain't worth all that grief, and move on to something more intresting.

Side note, becareful of putting your full social needs on online friends. It can be attractive since it's like instant gradification compared to getting out and meeting new people. Good to have some friends, but they are no substitute for real deal. I know I found myself more focused 1-3 online friends rather than being myself. All it did was make things worse cause I build myself around them. Better to focus on things that intrest me and build on them, than be a slave to the hope that someone might be online to talk to.

smilingheart:

Sorry to hear about you being blown off. :( *hugs* I think all of us go through that many a time in our life. It can never be easy to handle. There is always someone to quickly help us lift ourselves back up though. :)

I myself, though I get my feelings hurt quite a bit, like being sensitive. It can make moments so hard for me at times, but I wouldn't change that about myself even if I could.

Thank you all for your kind words!!! You all are really a GOOD support!

JAMES, I wanted to say to you I have prayed to the Lord to help me through this, and I asked the Lord to show me how to be like you wrote! I can feel it working a wee bit but hey these things take time and LOTS of prayer!

THANK YOU ALL once again!:hug:
